DEL RIO, Texas—A 1-year-old baby that a Honduran man tried to pass off as his child—to gain a quick release from Border Patrol after illegally crossing the border—was not his.

The man was caught only through the vigilance of Border Patrol agents. By regulation, biographical information on children under 14 isn’t taken.
